A few weeks ago I discovered Inchies and while I thought they were cool, I really found them kind of limiting. I love the smallness, but they are SO tiny it was hard to figure out how to get them to tell a story.
I ordered the 7 Gypsies ATC Holder months ago, assembled it and there it sat. Finally, after putting up the baby gate last night, I sat at my desk and made two cards. EUREKA! I have discovered something wonderful! ATCs:
1. Are finished quickly
2. Are big enough to tell a "story"
3. Are double sided (when used in the holder)
4. Are a fun way to use the stuff I buy just because it's "pretty", not because it will fit a scrapbooking page.
I made this:
And this:
I'm looking forward to quickly completing something every day or so. I also packed up my Rusty Pickle suitcase full of cards, ephemera and scraps so I can take it on the road.
Life is good :)!!
Very cool! I have been noticing people mentioning "inchies" and thought they'd be fun for cards etc...but I really like your ATC's...something else to try!
